17" wheels and 265-75-17 tires

Any running something like this? If so, pics please!

 

I don't think anyone makes a tire in that size.

 

... but a few mfg. make 255/75R17.

 

I just saw your other thread asking if that size would fit without a lift.



from the online tire size calculator

That's a full 32x10" tire. It'll be hit or miss. Probably have to take off your front mudflaps.

 

I run 265/70/17 no lift.

 

Me too.

I can tell you that at a full turn they are very close (3/4") to rubbing at a few points, not just at the mud flap.

They do rub sometimes during a hard turn at moderate speeds, or when hitting a bump during a turn. Under normal driving conditions, no problems.

Can anyone please explain how a 265/70/17 is almost identical as a 265/75/16?? Wouldn't the 75 be bigger??

 

The 1st 3 digits are the tires width in MM's. The next 2 digits are a percentage of the tires width from the ground to the bottom of the rim. So the 265/70/17 measures 70% of 265 mm or 185.5mm from the road to the bottom of the rim. The 265 /75/16 is the same width,but has 75% of 265 mm or 199 mm of rubber from the road to the bottom of the rim. Same amount of rubber from the top of the rim to the top of the tire. But because of the smaller rim diameter the overall height is about the same.

 

The diameter of both wheel are roughly 31 inches. 265/70/17 tires have less wall height than the 75/16 but the rim size is 1 inch bigger. so the and 5mm is roughly 1 inch. long story short the inch you make up for in tire height is offset by the 1 inch you lose in rim size

 

TireSize.com this tool is great!!!!!!

 

285/70/17 with leveling kit and 1.5 inch spydertrax spacers.

 

any rub with mudflaps?

 

Considering some 285s?

Hell ya theyll rub. My 265/70/17s rubbbed the mud flaps

 

IDK brah, he claims they don't rub

 

But my 265/75/16s didnt rub the flaps on the same truck. Kinda weird. I chocked it up to differences in backspacing since the tires are the same diameter and width

 

Lol because everything we read on the internet is true..

Seriously tho, expect them to rub. Might be able to get away with not doing a cmc if you dont drive off road, but the flaps will have to go unless you cut holes in them like i did with mine

 

Do yours rub m8?
